[Slowhand] Re: Lossy Vs Lossless AND Ticket prices in Oz

[Simon George]

All this stuff about lossy/lossless formats is getting silly. Most of the stuff out there is of dodgy quality anyway, even in the original, sure its nice then to get it as good as possible, but most of this stuff, be it recorded from in the audience or off FM radio or whatever, is not going to be 'sonically perfect' anyway. Besides which, how many of us listen to these recordings on our top of the range music systems anyway? I suspect that the majority of these are listened to on PC speakers, before being turned into MP3's and listened to either through cheap headphones or on a car stereo, so a little loss in quality will be hardly noticed.
Just my few pence worth.

  Tone, you wrote........Somewhere between Bryan and me someone on the Digest thought it prudent to encode to MP3 then back to Flac.............that is simply not acceptable. Rightfully so, to take a lossless source and spread a lossy version, with no warnings about the change, is the ultimate crime in the trading community. That "trader" should have been hunted down and outed. I think the most important thing in trading circles has to be the legitimacy of a recording's provenance. To take a known lossless recording and distribute a lossy version to people as if it were the original recording is fraudulent and such a trader should be on everyone's shit list.......................T
